Easy Fried Apples #AppleWeek

Easy fried apples are really easy. Within just about a half of an hour, you can have a delicious side dish or dessert.

I want to thank Rainier Fruits, Veggie Wash, and Rodelle Kitchen for providing me with the items I used to make this recipe.

Apples are in season now and you can find so many great varieties in the stores and the farmer’s market. Did you realize there are over 2500 varieties of apples?

We have all heard the saying, “An apple a day keeps the Doctor away.” Well, it is pretty true. There are so many great health benefits to eating apples. Take a moment to read this article, Health Benefits Of Eating Apples – you may be surprised at some of the things written there.

Trying new varieties of apples is fun to me. This recipe for easy fried apples would be great with any apple variety. I love using an apple that is sweet and tart.

Since there is some added sugar in this recipe, I made sure I chose an apple that is more tart than sweet. Spending time with my family is the most important thing to me. So, I make sure that I am organized when I get ready to make a meal. One way I do it is by gathering all of the tools I need and putting them in one place.

I can remember a time when I didn’t practice this. Trust me, there were some dinners that had a few burnt spots!

Easy Fried Apples

Easy fried apples are sweetened with coconut sugar that gives them a bit of molasses flavor. Great for a side dish or dessert. Why not top your ice cream with them?

2500 types of apples?! I would have guessed 30-40. Apples are my favorite fruit and cooked apple desserts are my husband’s favorite. I’ll be earning big time wife points this weekend when I make your fried apples for him. Thanks. 🙂

My Mom made fried apples for us a long time ago and I loved them. I have to admit, I have never fried an apple…shame on me. We’re off to the Farmers Market this weekend so guess what I’m planning to make?
